Bug#168976: kde dependencies trouble - removed kdeinit
Package: kde Version: N/A; reported 2002-11-13 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable finally doing a dist-upgrade from woody to testing (sarge), i was surprised to find that kde, now at version 3.0.1, would not start, but instead complained that kdeinit could not be found. apparently the dist-upgrade had removed the program. i was able to get kde into a sort of startable state by removing kde, then installing kdebase and kdebase-libs (which did pull in a few dependent packages). However, trying to install almost any kde related software fails with something like this: tosh:/home/peter# apt-get install kxmleditor Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: kxmleditor: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libkxmleditor1 (>= 0.7.1-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tosh 2.4.9 #10 Tue Jul 30 08:44:50 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
Bug#169030: elm-me+: No version exists in stable
Package: elm-me+ Version: 2.4pl25ME+95-3 Severity: normal http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=elm-me&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all lists version elm-me+ 2.4pl25ME+99c-3 for both testing and unstable, but nothing for stable. What is the easiest way to install a good but not necessarily very recent version of elm-me+ on stable? In May before woody became stable, I installed version 2.4pl25ME+95-3 on an older woody machine padua (which I am running reportbug on), but on a newly installed woody machine now I get pisa# apt-get -q -s install elm-me+ Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... E: Couldn't find package elm-me pisa# apt-get -q -s install elm-me++ Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... E: Couldn't find package elm-me even though /etc/apt/sources.list has a source for "stable main non-free". There doesn't seem to be a version in contrib for stable either. Apart from the missing package, how would I deal with the "+" sign in the name? Note above that even when I put two plusses apt-get removed both of them. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux padua.maths.usyd.edu.au 2.4.19 #1 SMP Tue Nov 5 07:15:32 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages elm-me+ depends on: ii libc62.2.5-11.2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-7 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii sendmail [mail-transport 8.12.3-4A powerful, efficient, and scalabl
